Default Watch The Road!

Sean, That's too funny!

There was a guy at the boundary Bay field years ago who crashed his airplane, then put everything away in his car and left for the day.
Unfortunately for him he had left the transmitter on the roof of his car, and it stayed put until he got out onto the highway, when it slid off the roof, bounced off the trunk, and onto the road. It bounced along the road, was hit by the car behind, and finally landed in the ditch.
After retrieving the poor smashed thing from the ditch, he switched it and what was left of the airplane on, and to his amazement it still worked!
He was so impressed with how tough this Kraft radio was, he immediately turned around and headed back to the field. He walked up to a group of us with all this wreckage, threw it down on a table, and explained with great enthusiasm what had just happened, and how the radio still worked!
In his exitement, he switched it on to show us.....and shot down some poor guy who was flying on that frequency!

Two airplanes and a transmitter totaled in less than an hour!

Cheers, Nigel
